School design has entered a new era. Safe­ty now extends beyond code min­i­mums and evac­u­a­tion plans to the very walls that pro­tect stu­dents and staff.

Ware­house plan­ning is fun­da­men­tal­ly a square-foot bud­get deci­sion. Own­ers, devel­op­ers, and builders eval­u­at­ing ware­house cost per square foot need to see how each sys­tem affects price.

A garage is only as strong as the foun­da­tion beneath it. With­out the right plan­ning and con­struc­tion, prob­lems like set­tling, water dam­age, and insta­bil­i­ty can show up over time.

EPS is an inert, organ­ic mate­r­i­al. It pro­vides no nutri­tive val­ue to plants, ani­mals or micro-organ­isms. It will not rot and is high­ly resis­tant to mold and mildew.

Build­ing a tsuna­mi-proof house requires strate­gic plan­ning and the use of spe­cial­ized mate­ri­als. Coastal homes face unique chal­lenges that demand solu­tions capa­ble of with­stand­ing pow­er­ful waves and the debris they car­ry.

We’ve com­piled a list of zero-ener­gy homes that incor­po­rate sus­tain­able con­struc­tion into the build­ing process. The results are 5 facil­i­ties that prove zero net ener­gy can be achieved with care­ful plan­ning and appro­pri­ate imple­men­ta­tion.

For­tu­nate­ly, with the grow­ing pop­u­lar­i­ty of sus­tain­able and acces­si­ble design, it’s eas­i­er than ever to help clients cre­ate a space that will meet their chang­ing needs over the years. Con­sid­er these options for clients who want to plan for the future while ensur­ing style, com­fort and func­tion­al­i­ty for today.

The project is a key fea­ture and gath­er­ing place in a small city that is plan­ning sub­stan­tial city-wide rede­vel­op­ment. The new 11-screen the­ater is a focal point of this effort and has intro­duced the region to ICF and the ben­e­fits of build­ing with this method.

Exte­ri­or wind dam­age is respon­si­ble for 25% of all home­own­er insur­ance claims. That doesn’t include the inte­ri­or loss­es that occur when dam­aged win­dows and roofs let rain wreak hav­oc inside. While we can’t pre­vent wind­storms, we can lessen their dam­age by plan­ning home designs with wind-resis­tance as a top pri­or­i­ty.
